Hiatus hernia
A A hiatus herniahiatus hernia occurs where there occurs where there is herniation of stomach through the is herniation of stomach through the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm
Sub types:Sub types:
- Sliding hiatus hernia (95%)- Sliding hiatus hernia (95%)
- Rolling (para-oesophageal) hiatus - Rolling (para-oesophageal) hiatus hernia (5%)hernia (5%)
Sliding hiatus herniaSliding hiatus hernia
The gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) is The gastro-oesophageal junction (GOJ) is usually displaced by more than 1cm usually displaced by more than 1cm above the hiatus. The oesophageal hiatus above the hiatus. The oesophageal hiatus is often abnormally widened to 3 - 4cm : is often abnormally widened to 3 - 4cm : the upper limit is 15mm. the upper limit is 15mm.
The gastric fundus may also be displaced The gastric fundus may also be displaced above the diaphragm and present as a above the diaphragm and present as a retrocardiac mass on a chest radiograph. retrocardiac mass on a chest radiograph. The presence of an air-fluid level in the The presence of an air-fluid level in the mass suggests the diagnosis. mass suggests the diagnosis.
Sliding hiatus hernia: (a)Infant, vestibule closed. (b) Infant, vestibule open. (c) ,Adult, vestibule open, inferior esophageal sphincter contracted. The latter produces a rounded ring at the proximal end of the vestibule on an esophagogram.
Those patients with a congenital hiatal hernia demonstrated one on more of the following signs:
(1) an abnormally high position of the inferior esophageal sphincter;
(2) a beak formation at the gastric candia; (3) linear orientation of gastric folds toward the
esophagus at the candia (irregularity of the cardia);
(4) visualization of gastric folds above the diaphragm;
(5) a funnel formation at the cardia; (6) an air- filled hole at the cardia; (7) an epiphrenic loculus; (8) a distal esophageal web; (9) the presence of delayed gastroesophageal
reflux.

DiscussionDiscussion
The roentgenologic diagnosis of hiatal herniae in the young is difficult because:
Many roentgen landmarks seen in adults cannot be demonstrated in infants
The involved structures are small Events occur so rapidly that the
roentgenologist may experience difficulty in recording the findings at the optimum moment, if he uses conventional filming techniques
DiscussionDiscussion
The smallest herniae cause significant The smallest herniae cause significant symptoms and complications, symptoms and complications, distressing reflux symptoms.distressing reflux symptoms.
The failure to diagnose hiatal herniae The failure to diagnose hiatal herniae in children, moreover, can have in children, moreover, can have serious consequences. serious consequences.
The presence of hiatal hernia in infants The presence of hiatal hernia in infants should always be considered when the should always be considered when the appropriate clinical symptoms appear.appropriate clinical symptoms appear.

Indications for this additional study are: (i) appropriate clinical history
(vomiting, dysphagia, failure to gain weight, gastrointestinal bleeding, anemia, repeated pulmonary infections);
(2) observation of an abnormality of the candioesophageal junction during a routine fluoroscopy

A spoonful of barium is then given and the A spoonful of barium is then given and the movement of contrast through the esophagus is movement of contrast through the esophagus is fluoroscopically observed-especially noting the fluoroscopically observed-especially noting the inferior esophageal sphincter and its level inferior esophageal sphincter and its level relative to the diaphragmrelative to the diaphragm
When satisfactony mucosal coating is seen, When satisfactony mucosal coating is seen, multiple spot film noentgenograms of the multiple spot film noentgenograms of the cardioesophageal region are taken in the cardioesophageal region are taken in the antenopostenior and slight right and left antenopostenior and slight right and left anterior oblique projections. anterior oblique projections.

Allowing the infant to nurse on a sugar Allowing the infant to nurse on a sugar nipple on having the older child undergo nipple on having the older child undergo “dry swallows” often assists in obtaining “dry swallows” often assists in obtaining optimal mucosal detail.optimal mucosal detail.
The patient is then turned back into a The patient is then turned back into a horizontal supine position and evidence horizontal supine position and evidence of spontaneous gastroesophageal reflux of spontaneous gastroesophageal reflux or relux secondary to increased intra-or relux secondary to increased intra-abdominal pressure (using manual abdominal pressure (using manual pressure on the stomach) is noted to be pressure on the stomach) is noted to be present or absent.present or absent.
After the initial fluoroscopy and standard After the initial fluoroscopy and standard overtable roentgenograms are taken, the overtable roentgenograms are taken, the child is held in the erect (preferably), child is held in the erect (preferably), prone on right lateral decubitus (right prone on right lateral decubitus (right side down position for at least 30 side down position for at least 30 minutes. At this time a supine minutes.

If contrast material is seen in the If contrast material is seen in the esophagus on this noentgenogram in an esophagus on this noentgenogram in an initially negative study, the child should be initially negative study, the child should be held erect until he or she can be held erect until he or she can be refluoroscoped. Often reflux can be seen refluoroscoped. Often reflux can be seen immediately after the patient is replaced immediately after the patient is replaced into the supine position for fluonoscopy. It into the supine position for fluonoscopy. It is frequently possible to demonstrate a is frequently possible to demonstrate a hiatal hernia at this point (with on without hiatal hernia at this point (with on without another swallow of thickened barium) even another swallow of thickened barium) even though the initial fluonoscopy was though the initial fluonoscopy was negativenegative
